RR pulley or 8 rib?

[mrxr250rider]

belt slip issues on my setup below. dont wanna spend the money for 8 rib but belt slip seems to be a common issue with my setup. could try cranking the belt tighter.

anyone have good success with an 6 rib setup? or should i just bite the bullet and do 8 rib. thanks

You could look into a Gatorback belt. If you know the length of your belt, you can use the link below to get the belt number and but one from summit. Just ordered my new Gatorback belt today.

how bad is it slipping?

A larger 6 rib crank pulley with a larger blower pulley could be a possibility as well

id rather stick with the same belt(since its new) unless i go 8 rib.

it was once tuned for 15psi so ill try cranking it tighter first. if it helps but doesnt completly fix it then ill try an RR pulley.

but its slipping pretty bad 10-12 psi instead of 15. the new belt is a little looser than the old misaligned belt which also made 10-12 psi.

Gatorbacks seem to work better for me.

RR shreds belts on Vortech's all the time.. My buddy went through like 5 in a 2 months.. My other buddy went through 1 almost after every pass.. and the belts were aligned perfectly.. Go with a 8 rib

Well I run a RR pulley on mine... belt is in perfect shape which has been on since I installed the pulley last year. I uave about 1000 miles on it and lots of high RPM runs without an issue.

Go 8 rib. It can be done for under $300

We have quite a few customers running the rr pulley's with no major issues. They do wear the belt a little faster than a normal pulley but it's not major.

House of Boost dedicated blower brackets. Runs a seperate belt. I know they make one for Procharger blowers, they might make one for a Vortech.
